I am no expert on Madeira poncha but I can detect that this is one delicious alcoholic drink ! And one not to take lightly ;) Things to know about poncha: it's made from run made in Madeira, it must be freshly made in a bar or restaurant as it's made with fresh orange juice and based on rum therefore bottled poncha will not do! Also poncha that you will see standing in a jar will not do either. Rei da poncha does fresh poncha the traditional way right in front of your eyes and it how it should be. It comes in many flavours: original (with orange juice, honey, rum, lime) and strawberry, lime, passion fruit, tangerine, absinth, tomato and kiwi. The place is always almost packed so it's a statement in it self and a clue to visit earlier rather than later. If you do not find a place to sit, you can always do take away poncha. It's right next to old town of Madeira and it's well worth venteruning out 5 minutes to try this great drink. The service is great - very nice, calm but serving fast staff that is eager to help your choice with information. At €3.50 you are in for a treat if you do like to sample alcoholic drinks. I have not eaten there so can not comment on the food.
